Siloed initiatives emerge as key challenge to META DX projects
, February 28, 2021 While an impressive 76% of manufacturers in the Middle East, Turkey, and Africa (META) region are currently engaged in, or about to start, a formal digital transformation (DX) program, a significant proportion risk limiting their efforts by failing to connect key elements including DX initiatives, data, and technology environments, according to a recent info brief by market intelligence and advisory company IDC. The info brief, which was sponsored by Infor, refers to “Islands of Innovation” as a key challenge, with siloed DX initiatives, siloed data, and siloed technology environments highlighted as three particular challenges for manufacturers to be aware of and fix.
Some members of Weqaya Takaful and Reinsurance Co.’s board of directors, audit and executive committees were convicted and fined SR1.3 million ($350,000) in the lawsuit filed by the Capital Market Authority (CMA).
The decision of the Appeal Committee for Resolution of Securities Disputes (ACRSD) was announced Jan. 13, 2021, by the General Secretariat of the Committees for Resolution of Securities Disputes.
According to the decision, those members were convicted of violating the corporate governance regulations, and the listing rules (applicable at that time), as they did not fulfill their duties and failed to verify the soundness of the financial and accounting systems deployed for the preparation of the company’s financial reports and financial statements in the fiscal year ended Dec. 31, 2013, and the interim period ended March 31, 2014.
